"I hired Earthworks last summer to dig out part of my hillside and create a larger turnaround area for my driveway, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They did excellent work from start to finish. The team was friendly, polite, and incredibly easy to work with. They took the time to explain my different options clearly and helped me choose the best approach for the space. They were also very flexible with scheduling and paid close attention to weather conditions and rain so the project could be done safely and without issues. I really appreciated how considerate they were of my neighbors as well—they made sure the heavy equipment didn’t damage the road and kept everything clean and respectful."

"Asher is wonderful. Very proactive, very communicative, very engaged in meeting my needs. He cleared out a large overgrown area including tree stump removal, did landscaping and snow removal, and I will soon likely hire him to level the area he cleared and lay a concrete foundation. He does it all."

"Tony built a beautiful limestone wall into a hill at the front of our property. The aesthetic is as good or better than we imagined. He is a kind person to work with and we would hire him again! In fact, he will be coming back in the spring to add new shrubs and grass."

"We could not be happier with the outcome of this project! Keenan and his team saved us from a DIY project that we bit off more than we could chew. He came out and gave us a quote less than 24 hours after reaching out to him and was able to get started on the project the following weekend. He was willing to work with the materials we had already purchased saving us the headache of returning everything. When we ran into issues with our pavers he took it upon himself to remedy the issue with the home improvement store the materials were purchased through. Again, going above and beyond what was agreed upon. He was upfront with cost changes as the project progressed and was cognizant on where he could save us money. We would, with not doubt, hire Keenan again."

"I have hired Chris and Bontae to do many projects for us in the past. All I can say is if you want someone reliable, trustworthy, and a company who takes ownership seriously.... look no further. I have had them build fences, repair sinkholes, tear concrete out of an old dairy barn, build me a concrete wall next to a stream and even make me a pond way back on my property. Do your homework, hire someone that takes your money seriously. Worth every penny."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Gilman, MN

Most shed foundations benefit from a gravel layer four to six inches deep after proper compaction. The exact depth may vary depending on your specific soil conditions, climate, and shed weight. In areas with poor drainage or for heavier structures, contractors might recommend slightly deeper installations. Building the pad in multiple compacted layers rather than a single thick pour helps achieve optimal stability and load distribution.

Gravel pads cost significantly less than concrete foundations. While gravel materials run about $1.25 to $1.80 per square foot, concrete slabs average $6 per square foot. For a standard shed base, this price difference translates to substantial savings. Beyond the initial cost advantage, gravel pads also offer easier installation, simpler modifications if needed, and don't require specialized concrete finishing skills.

For a standard 10-by-12 shed pad, you'll need enough gravel to cover 120 square feet at the recommended depth. At rates of $1.25 to $1.80 per square foot, expect to spend $150 to $216 on gravel materials alone. Remember to factor in extending the pad beyond the shed's dimensions by one to two feet on each side for better drainage and stability, which increases the actual area needed.

The ideal gravel for shed foundations combines stability with proper drainage capabilities. Crusher run ($0.40 per square foot) makes an excellent base layer because it contains various particle sizes that lock together when compacted. For top layers, angular gravel provides better drainage while maintaining stability. Avoid perfectly round decorative stones as they don't compact effectively and may shift under weight, compromising your shed's stability over time.
